Whispering Pines…Unsolved

Cold case. Hot mess. Southern charm. Welcome to Whispering Pines. Please don't die here.

Patsy Steffanelli never meant to start a true crime podcast with her ex-CIA mama, Mattie McDonald. But when life gave them lemons—and a midlife crisis or two—they hit the road in a pink-striped Airstream with their Goldendoodle Goldilocks, sass, snacks, and a box of unsolved mysteries.

Their first stop is Whispering Pines, Virginia, a sleepy mountain town hiding a decades-old disappearance. Elvira Vance was an aspiring artist who vanished just before her big break. The police said she ran away. The locals moved on. But Murder, Mystery, and Mom gives a voice to every victim, especially the forgotten ones.

Armed with a mic, Mattie's spy skills, and a suspiciously color-coded Post-it system, Patsy dives headfirst into small-town secrets, eccentric suspects, and more than a few awkward encounters with local law enforcement.

As buried truths bubble to the surface, the investigation gets personal—and dangerous. Someone wants Elvira's secrets to stay hidden, and they're not above threatening a couple of podcasting amateurs to keep them quiet.

Can a Southern mama and her daughter solve a crime fifteen years cold... before they end up six feet under?
